China's story is proof that developing countries can eliminate poverty, Chinese President Xi Jinping said while addressing the Session I of the 19th G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro on Monday.
Xi delivered an important speech at the first session of the summit, which saw the launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty.
"I have worked from village to county, city, provincial and central levels. Poverty alleviation has always been a priority and a major task I am determined to deliver. China's story is proof that developing countries can eliminate poverty, and that a weaker bird can start early and fly high, when there is the endurance, perseverance, and striving spirit that enables water drops to penetrate rocks over time and turns blueprints into reality. If China can make it, other developing countries can make it too. This is what China's battle against poverty says to the world," Xi said in his speech.
Xi arrived in Brazil on Sunday to attend the G20 summit scheduled for Monday and Tuesday and to pay a state visit at the invitation of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Created in 1999, the G20 is a main forum for international cooperation on financial and economic issues and comprises 19 countries plus the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU).

China-Australia relations have achieved a turnaround and are maintaining a positive momentum of development, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday.
Xi made the remarks when meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the sidelines of the 19th G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
The Chinese president said he was happy to again meet with Albanese and noted that he paid a state visit to Australia exactly 10 years ago.
"Over the past decade, China-Australia relations have made some progress, but also experienced some twists and turns, which have given us some perspectives. Currently, China-Australia relations have achieved a turnaround and are maintaining a positive momentum of development, bringing tangible benefits to the people of both countries. This is the result of the two sides working together in the same direction, which is worth cherishing. I am ready to work with you to build a more mature, stable, and fruitful comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Australia and inject more stability and certainty into the region and the world at large," said Xi.
Albanese said he was pleased to meet with Xi again while highlighting the encouraging progress made in the stabilization of the bilateral relations.
"There has been further encouraging progress in the stabilization of our relationship. We live in the fastest-growing region of the world in human history, and the rise of China has contributed to this while lifting the living standards of hundreds of millions of people through increased economic activity," said the Australian prime minister.
